Quantum Brak Ducts Installed

RE: Quantum Brak Ducts Installed
+1 Carbotech
+1 Quantum
+1 going through pads and rotors
One weekend at Sebring, a very tough track on brakes, cost me front rotors (warped) and a full set of pads. These cars are just heavy beasts.
I'm now running a dedicated set of track rotors so the carbotech compound doesn't mix with the ford stock pad compound. Ran VIR most recently, very fun.

Im going to move to a dedicated set of track rotors too, thats a good idea, wont have to re-bed the pads every time. VIR looks like a fun track and everyone I talk to, who has been there, raves about it. Eight hour drive for me....maybe someday.
I agree these cars are heavy beasts - I really wish Ford had dropped about 400 pounds off of them. Thanks for the info.

Argonaut, I heard track conditions were pretty rough and that the new pavement is tearing up on some of the turns. The irony, of course,is that this is all from a Subie site. "waaah, waaah, waaaah, my all-wheel drive rally car can't handle some choppy pavement."

You actually warped a set of rotors - wow. Did you pull them off and test them to prove they warped or is it possible the 'shimmy' was due to hot spots on the rotors or un-even transfer layer? Did the happen with the brake ducts on or before? Was it the OE rotors?

I was wondering what you had your D specs and tire pressures set to on the track. I'm running 2 front and 2.5 rear and 40 psi hot all round.

My next set of tires will be Nitto NT-01s. From what I hear they like lower pressures, probably have to experiment a little with them.

OE rotors, prior to brake ducts (that's what prompted me to get them). They shimmied hot and cold, and I've never had an uneven transfer prior, plus when I removed them and took them to see if I could get them turned to salvage a backup pair, the response from the shop was, "Boat anchors". So I assume that yes, they were in fact warped.
